Of course there is always a chance, but the odds of that happening now are EXTREMELY low.

Hurricanes are to be respected in terms of what they have done in the past. The unthinkable should not be ignored but the probable should be the thing focused on.
In otherwords: Jeanne, Lenny, and Gordon are a few who did things that most people did not think of, but it is probable that this hurricane will do What the says it will do within a 100 miles east or west.

It's a storm alright.
I love it as long as it does no damage, or anyone loses power.

Latest Tampa Bay radar loop seems to be confirming a more NNW movement.

I remain amazed that noone is talking about the trough that was supposed to steer it north. if the trough ain't there, then the north ain't happening, like several models have said, ms bound

Dennis is overpowering the trough. Prevailing winds over the gulf remain from the SW. I see little reason to believe that the forecast track will not verify (give or take 50 miles).

Reasoning behind the northward motion and why it may not be a temporary wobble have been posted to the met. blogs. It has to do with the upper-level winds and the recent rapid intensification of the storm -- it is now feeling a different subset of upper-level winds since it is a deeper storm, winds which are moreso aiming towards the north than the northwest.

I think the steering involved a little more then the "trough". We are all watching and waiting.

Was watching CNN at 830pm and the radar they were using, it looked like was making a more Northerly turn, even the weather person stated that as well...
I may not be reading it correctly, but it is interesting....

Has the track been updated in the past 2 hours?
When will the other models info come in? I'm talking about when you go to the spagetti model page?
